Text: Lou Reed. Songs For Drella. Forever Changed.
Train entering the city
I lost myself and never came back
Took a trip 'round the world and never came back
Black silhouettes, criss-crossed tracks, never came back
Forever changed
Forever changed
You might think I'm frivolous, uncaring and cold
You might think I'm empty, depends on your point of view
Society Andy, who paints and records them
The high and the low, never turn back
Forever changed
Forever changed
Forever changed
Forever changed
Got to get to the city, get a job
Got to get some work, to see me through
My old life's behind, I see you preceding
My life's disappearing, disappearing from view
Hong Kong and I was changed
Burma, Thailand and I was changed
A few good friends to see me through
Henry and Brigid to see me through
Only art to see me through
Only heart to see me through
My old life's disappearing, disappearing from view
Forever changed
Forever changed
I was forever changed
I lost myself and never came back
Took a trip 'round the world and never came back
Black silhouettes, criss-crossed tracks, never came back
Forever changed
Forever changed
You might think I'm frivolous, uncaring and cold
You might think I'm empty, depends on your point of view
Society Andy, who paints and records them
The high and the low, never turn back
Forever changed
Forever changed
Forever changed
Forever changed
Got to get to the city, get a job
Got to get some work, to see me through
My old life's behind, I see you preceding
My life's disappearing, disappearing from view
Hong Kong and I was changed
Burma, Thailand and I was changed
A few good friends to see me through
Henry and Brigid to see me through
Only art to see me through
Only heart to see me through
My old life's disappearing, disappearing from view
Forever changed
Forever changed
I was forever changed
Reed, Lou
